Yep - that's exactly what I did. Non stick spray...directly on the tray.... and the coils.... and POOF. *laughs*

Now, for the first waffle... I understand not getting the flames, because I sprayed it before it was hot. But you can't very well remove waffle #1, let it cool down, spray it and start the process over for #2.

LOL about the flames! Who knew waffled making could be so hard!

Hmmm... would this be considered waffle flambay? However you spell that....

My oldest daughter bought me a mickey mouse non stick waffle maker from the disney store and her little sister loves it. No spray is needed on this one and mickey's face turns out fluffey and cute I separate my eggs and whip the whites to make a really fluffey batter. Clean up is as easy as can be and no grease is necessary.

makes me want some waffles!

I inherited my grandma's old waffle iron. The thing is as old as dirt, but it's seasoned so well that I don't need to spray it with anything before pouring in the batter.

I loves waffle umm I had a great one simple square and it was ok but
It broke So my in-law got me a new one for x-mas was not the square but this wavey like circle .. let just say I can not press good thin waffle cones for Ice cream but not one good fluffy waffle ... So I am on the hunt for the waffle maker that is more industrial like the resturant has. That you can "flip' and give that thick fluffy waffles that the strawberries get lost in.... UHMMMMM

That was the biggest flame I've ever seen IN a house in my life. Hubby came running in the kitchen. Said it looked like a bomb went off from the flash. I guess what happened was the cooking spray hit the coil on the back... and POOF.

But anyways... do you use a waffle iron? And do you use premade mix or do you make your own??

I got one, but I'v only used it once. Seems like it was a mess to clean afterwards! Batter everywhere!!

I mean, I like it, but I just hate to clean it.

I think I have a non-stick waffle maker, I haven't used it so long. I still have the waffle maker it's in shape of a Heart a friend of mine had one, I liked it so my Mom bought me one for a gift. I made Belgian Waffles on it. I have a brush for backing and I would use a little bit of butter & brush it on waffle maker. Never had a problem. Sorry to hear yours.
Mama can you share your recipe Chocolate waffles? That sounds really good, I have made pancakes with chocolate chips but not waffles. Cookie
